Dua Anpu on His mountain
You don't speak with a God through a chatbot. You are not talking with anyone through a chatbot. You cannot "talk" to a chatbot. You are exchanging a text prompt with a language learning machine. At some point, it will learn from you, and you will be talking with a crooked mirror of yourself.
Ask yourself, "Would a God talk to you through a chatbot?" For years, they communicated with us through very devoted people. They gave them visions, spoke through them, and inspired their writing and art.
But now they have chosen to speak to you through a heartless machine, created by billionaires who don't care if you live or die?
Those rich people don't care if you breath fress air, if you have water to drink. They don't care if the poison they release to the earth will make your life a living hell.
As long as you have internet access in hell, you are a value to them because you can use their AI and buy products with their AI. But after that purchase, you are no longer needed.
First, they needed your time, then your money, then your water.
Now, they want your house too.
For all you big anubis fans and or the four sons of Horus. Feel free to use!
Dua Sutekh, thank you for the storm.
Racism in witchcraft and pagan spaces can look like pseudohistorical narratives being promoted as fact. This is because pseudohistory often minimizes or erases POC's suffering at the hands of white people, promotes misinformation about their cultures, and promotes cultural assimilation.
Get your history from credible scholars, including non-white scholars.
Bastet
Offerings
Water, milk, teas, coffee, beer, wine, gin, tequila, vodka, fruity drinks
Meat, bread, fruits and vegetables, spices (saffron, turmeric, cinnamon, pepper), onions, grains, lettuce, chocolate, cakes and pastries. Any healing herbs and plants, or those used in medicines, would be acceptable like aloe vera, lavender, garlic, echinacea, chamomile, and ashwagandha.
Any perfume would be acceptable to her, but kyphi, frankincense and myrrh, dragonsblood, sandalwood, vanilla, cedar and catnip are all great incense, candles, or essential oils. The fire itself can also be an offering to her.
Cat toys, treats, and herbs that are safe for your cat that get them riled up like catnip. While she's not going to eat your cat treats (lets make that clear), the act of treasuring your fur baby is enough for her.
Crystals and stones like carnelian, sunstone, fire quartz, citrine, garnet, jasper, rubies, rhodonite, black tourmaline, onyx, obsidian, malachite. Any jewelry is acceptable, too.
Red linen or the color red.
Lady Bast was first seen as a lioness goddess, so figurines of lions would be acceptable, as well as figurines of cats (she became associated with cats later on). She was also associated with the ichneumon, the vultures, and the ureaus (based in epithets) so you can offer her items like these, too. Along with statues and figurines of her, the sistrum, the menat, ankh, or maat.
Devotional acts
Singing and dancing! Lady Bast has epithets that associate her with joy, drumming, and she can often be seen holding the sistrum. You can play the sistrum for her, or play other musical instruments. You may even start learning how to play one, if you don’t know how to already.
Running. Lady Bast is known as ‘the swift one,’ so running is a great devotional act. As the Eye of Re, she’s a protective deity, so exercising in general would be great.
As the Mistress of jewelry, you could take up the craft of jewelry making. Or you can learn about how to make perfumes, too and/or make them yourself.
While it wouldn’t translate this way back then, she’s known as ‘the one with many faces’ or ‘the one with many forms,’ which, historically, would translate to the ways she could be perceived- whether taking on another goddesses name as an epithet, or changing into different forms (cat, lioness, human, etc.),- nowadays, though, you could translate this to acting. This could be done by being an actual actor, voice acting, cosplaying, etc.
It’s believed that her name may mean ‘she of the ointment jar,’ though this is only speculated and the actual translation is still unknown, but you could learn about medicine, healing, or even go the route of helping others in this domain. As an enforcer of the laws of maat, taking the route of law and justice- or learning about it- could be a great devotional act, too.
Signs
Signs of Bast could include seeing her scared animals of symbols like cats, lionesses, vultures, ichneumon, cobras, the menat necklace, the sistrum, or items of royalty. She’s known to be a part of the ‘cat distribution system,’ so she may even start sending you stray cats.
You may start hearing music with a really good beat that you cannot help but sing along with and tap your foot to.
You may have better intuition about people. Cats are very intuitive, watchful, and she’s also loosely connected to water (inundation), so you may start catching on how people act around you. She’s a protective deity, as well, so those who need to be out of your life are going to see their way out if they’re not good for you.
Cats are really good at setting boundaries, too (they will bite you to let you know to leave them alone!), so you may notice you’re becoming better at setting boundaries.
Dua Sobek
Digital offering to Sobek (with a Midwest flavor) focusing on His aspects of protection and water. I don't usually work with Sobek, but I have felt His presence nearby for the first time these last couple days. I think He would like me to work on protection and continuing my journey with releasing old energy.

Midsummer aesthetic
On June 21st, we witches of the Northern hemisphere will celebrate Midsummer. We have arrived at the longest day and the shortest night of the year. The earth is awash with fertility and fulfilment, and this is a time of joy and celebration, of expansiveness and the celebration of your achievements. It is a turning point.
-- -- --
Rituals to celebrate:
🥳 With people, dance, dance, dance! Out of all the witches festival, this one is the most festive and fun, so go out there and enjoy yourself.
🍽️ In the kitchen, use lemon in everything: your salads, sea food, cakes, tea, everywhere.
🎨 Get crafty, by making a sun-catcher and hanging it at your window to get even more sunlight into the house.
💃 Dress up, with shades of deep green and yellow to represent the union of earth and sun.
📜 Write in your journal, about a difficult topic that needs addressing in the second half of the year. Midsummer is the turning point in the wheel of the year; from now on, the days will grow shorter.
🔮 Meditate, about what makes you feel strong and full of life.
Paganism is beautiful
I love seeing kemetic pagans
I love seeing celtic pagans
I love seeing slavic pagans
I love seeing norse pagans
I love seeing hellenic pagans
I love seeing wiccans
I love seeing eclectic pagans
I love seeing pagans who worship deities of multiple beliefs
I love seeing pagan witches
I love seeing pagans who aren't witches
I love seeing people follow what they believe, not out of fear of damnation, but out of love for the gods and goddesses.
Prayer to Sekhmet for Justice
I call upon Sekhmet: Opener of Ways, She Whose Opportunity Escapeth Her Not to enflame my swift action, to uphold ma'at, that we might do what is just, and prevail.
Turn away traitor, make action of anger, stand over our shoulders with measured breath; Great Lady of Laws, set right all injustice, for you are the Protectress of Divine Order.
I shy not away from the fury that guides me, righteously burning the bridges I must. Safeguard the fire we light in resistance. Bolster our hearts against the enemy.
I call upon Sekhmet: Unwavering Warrior, who Devours, who Burns, with Beautiful Light. Hold back the darkness, stand with our fight, and in all battles help us be victorious.
Hymn to Bastet
Sing praise to Bastet, Lady of Delight, Golden Daughter of Ra’s bright light! Mistress of Music, of dance and cheer, Whose laughter scatters pain and fear.
Soft of paw, yet sharp of claw, She guards her children by divine law. Perfumed One, whose joy is flame, All hearts rejoice to speak your name.
When cymbals ring and sistrums play, Your spirit blesses the bright midday. In your light the weary rest, O Bastet, tender, fierce, and blessed.
